Ocean Eyes

Chapter Forty

I was struggling to take a deep breath as my emotions were building up.

"If, uh, if you don't feel the same way, or if you think this is too much, I get that. I can understand. If you're not ready for this, that's fine, but I -"

It was JJ's turn to cut me off with a kiss. I returned it immediately. The kiss was filled with such passion and fire that it took my breath away. Butterflies started from my toes and flew up into my stomach and settled in my cheeks as a blush.

I pulled away, needing to suck in some air, and JJ started pressing kisses up and down my neck.

"JJ," I hummed when he settled on a spot just below my ear.

He began sucking on the spot, and I gasped as I felt his teeth lightly graze it.

While mine tangled into his hair, JJ's hands were all over the place. They were running up and down my back before they slid down to my ass, lingering there for a moment before moving further down to the back of my thighs.

"Jump," he whispered in my ear and placed a kiss to the shell of my ear.

I did as he said and wrapped my legs around his waist while his hands settled on my ass to help support my weight. He pulled his face away from my neck and reconnected our lips together and walked us toward the kitchen.

He sat me down on the counter before separating our lips only long enough for him to tug my shirt off, leaving me in my shorts and swimsuit top.

Once his lips were back on mine, his hands slid up my bare sides, causing me to shiver. I felt him smirk into the kiss.

JJ once again began kissing down my neck but kept going until he reached my collar bone. Then, he kissed across my chest to the other side, up my neck and returned back to my lips. He had one hand resting on my upper thigh, just below the edge of my shorts, and his other one was on my back just below my swimsuit strap. Mine were still entangled in his hair.

"Let me know when you want to stop."

He pulled away slightly to gauge my reaction, but I shook my head.

"I don't want to."

"Jo-"

"I mean it, JJ."

He smiled, one that balanced between a genuine one and a cocky smirk, before picking me back up from the counter and walked over toward the pull out bed. He laid me down on the bed before crawling over me. He propped himself up with one hand while the other one brushed my hair away from my face.

He then leaned down and captured my lips in another heart racing kiss. His one hand trailed all the way from my face, down my side, and came to a stop at the hem of my shorts.

He broke the kiss and raised his eyebrows, silently asking me if he should keep going. I nodded. He slowly skimmed the hem of my shorts, giving me time to tell him to stop before he unbuttoned them, unzipped them, and was urging me to raise my hips so he could pull them down my legs. I was just in my bikini.

I pursed my lips and blushed as JJ's eyes raked over me, taking in every inch of exposed skin as if he's never seen it before.

"JJ," I whined, gaining his attention and causing him to smirk.

"I just can't help myself."

I rolled my eyes before pulling his face back down to mine with my hand that rested on the back of his neck. He suddenly rolled us, so I was straddling him as he laid on his back.

I supported myself with both hands resting on his chest while both of his hands gripped tightly onto my hips. The smirk on his face only grew along with the blush on mine.
